Company/Organization Info

The Phividec Industrial Authority (PIA) is a fully owned and controlled corporation of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines. It was established on August 13, 1974 by Presidential Decree 538 as amended by PD 1491.

It is mandated to identify and develop sites within the country as prospective industrial areas. PIA will equip these areas with the necessary infrastructures to encourage the inflow of domestic and foreign investments. The development of these sites is in accordance with the Philippine Government’s policy to disperse industries to the countryside as a means of equitability distributing resources, and as a vehicle to catalyze and sustain social and economic development in the Philippines.

The PIA is also mandated to assess and collect real property taxes and port fees; collect lease rentals; issues permits and licenses; and establish related revenue generating businesses such as subsidiaries and joint ventures.

At present, the Phividec Industrial Authority manages, administers and supervises the 3,000-hectare Phividec Industrial Estate (PIE-MO) located in the Municipalities of Tagoloan and Villanueva in Misamis Oriental.  Considered as one of the largest industrial estates in the Philippines, the PIE-MO is also an ideal business destination as it is situated at around 25 kilometers northeast of Cagayan de Oro City and has all the necessary support infrastructure and utilities such as telecommunication, commercial centers, water & power utilities and ports.
